Descendants of Abel Howard
NOTE: This document shows only the direct Howard ancestry of Florence Annette Howard Gustafson along with all siblings in each generation. In my search for Abel Howard's ancestry and that of his wife I have had the benefit of assistance from several of their descendants. While none of us have been able to prove that ancestry we have exchanged much documented and some undocumented information. I have, in my Howard file 2,957 individuals and many source notes. If you find that you are related to any of the people on this page and would like to exchange information, please, contact me at .
